Robotics on the Move

Posted May 12, 2009 7:31 AM

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Robotics Systems, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Robotics Systems today.

"What will fuel their continued migration?"

1) Companies determined to avoid cost of humans.

2) Companies determined to use humans at their highest and best use.

Are employees a cost (to be avoided) or a resource (to be valued)?
